About CHUNK BRAUNSCHWEIGER, CHUNK
Meijer Chunk Braunschweiger is a pork liver sausage product sold under the Meijer private-label brand by Meijer, Inc. of Grand Rapids, Michigan. Braunschweiger is a style of German-origin liver sausage, typically made from pork liver, named after the city of Braunschweig, Germany. It differs from traditional liverwurst in being smoked and in having a softer, spreadable texture when commercially produced. This product belongs to the pepperoni, salami, and cold cuts category.
The primary ingredients are pork livers and pork fat, with bacon (cured with water, salt, sugar, sodium phosphates, sodium erythorbate, and sodium nitrite) as a third component providing both flavor and cure. Water, modified food starch, and corn syrup provide moisture, texture, and binding properties. Minor ingredients at 2 percent or less include salt, flavoring, potassium lactate, sodium lactate (both antimicrobial agents extending shelf life), pork, dehydrated onion, sodium diacetate (a vinegar-salt antimicrobial), dextrose, sodium erythorbate (an antioxidant assisting with cure color retention), sugar, and sodium nitrite (a curing agent providing characteristic pink color and inhibiting Clostridium botulinum). The presence of both bacon and direct sodium nitrite addition makes this a doubly nitrite-cured product.
